10 Favorite Albums of 2016

Oh hey! My life has been a whirlwind and led me to an accidental blog hiatus. I know, I know. I missed you too!

I’m back here just in time to chime in with my favorite albums of 2016. This year was HARD for many of us it seems, but at least we can celebrate some incredible new music releases. Shout out to Spotify for being the MVP of music discovery by knowing my listening habits and taste so well.

Now, the list. There is no particular order and as much as I want to write thoughtful reviews for why these are my favorite albums of 2016, it’s currently 1:07am on a Thursday morning (what is sleep?) and life is busy, so I’m keeping it simple.

Cliff notes for why I chose these albums: I spent a good chunk of 2016 dancing and/or connecting emotionally (aka probably cried) while listening.

Wow, that’s a lot of time spent doing something I love, and I definitely stayed true to my motto #FangirlForYourFriends with my excessive listening of my pals’ band Bedbugs. Might also like indie music? Can you tell? Not really sure. haha.

Cheers to saying BOY BYE to 2016 and hello to more music we can fall in love with in 2017.
